Chapter 127 The Dog That Caused the Accident
"Heh~ despair?" Zhou Mu laughed. "I won't despair, but I'm going to disappoint you."
Zhou Yue was puzzled.
"I was admitted to Ocean University through a special admission program a long time ago, you can't stop me from going to university."
After saying that, Zhou Mu took Feifei's hand and said, "Let's go, Feifei."
"good."
Yan Songyu patted the two girls' hands, signaling them to go first, while she lagged behind. She looked at Zhou Yue and said, "Mumu is your daughter. I've said it before, if you don't want her, give her to me. You're planning to ruin her life with something as important as the college entrance exam."
“Just because she’s my daughter, I have the right to decide everything about her.” Zhou Yue looked at Yan Songyu smugly. “You should have mentioned adopting her to Zhou Mu, right? She refused, so you’re trying to get her through me?”
“She was unwilling before, but that may not be the case now.” Yan Songyu whispered in Zhou Yue’s ear, “I should thank you for pushing your own daughter toward me.”
After Yan Songyu finished speaking, she left in her high heels, elegant and graceful, completely out of place in the old and dilapidated alley.
Zhou Yue slumped into a stool. "A guaranteed admission? Hah, hahaha~"
Zhou Mu has really grown up now; he's even letting her go. A guaranteed admission to university? She knew Zhou Mu was a good student, but she didn't expect her to be this good, considering she had to work part-time to earn tuition while studying.
Zhou Yue didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment. Happy? Yes, she seemed to see another version of herself realizing her dreams, a version of herself who had access to education and a bright future.
Angry? Yes, she was. She truly felt that Zhou Mu had slipped out of her control and was moving closer to Yan Songyu, whom she hated and envied. Besides anger, she was also filled with an inexplicable sense of loss, as if she had lost something.
However... none of that is the most important thing right now. The most important thing is... settling accounts!
She did dislike Zhou Mu, but since she had agreed to let her go to school in the first place, she didn't intend to make things difficult for her in this matter. Besides, Zhou Mu's education wasn't something she had paid for.
Zhou Chenglong was holding and comforting his precious son when Zhou Yue rushed in, grabbed Zhou Chuanzong by the collar, and threw him into his mother's arms. The next moment, the steel pipe in Zhou Yue's hand struck Zhou Chenglong's hand.
"Zhou Yue! What's wrong with you now?" Zhou Chenglong clutched his broken arm, sweating profusely from the pain.
"Call the police! I must call the police!" Liu Ying shouted, huddled in a corner with her son in her arms, wanting to go forward but not daring to.
Zhou Yue hit Zhou Chenglong on the back with the stick again. "Fine, report it! I also want to call the police to find out who gave Zhou Mu the laxative, preventing her from taking the college entrance exam."
A hint of joy flashed in Zhou Chenglong's eyes, but he didn't want to admit it. "Third Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? I didn't do this, why are you hitting me?"
"No one has touched the breakfast I bought, except for you who came to my house early this morning and loitered around for a while. Who else could it be but you?"
"Third sister, I'm doing this for your own good." Zhou Chenglong stopped arguing and started to reason with her. "Old Tian is going to give a dowry of 300,000 yuan. If Zhou Mu goes to university, won't all this be for nothing?"
"Bride price? What would I need a bride price for?" Zhou Yue's knowing gaze shot towards Zhou Chenglong. He really had a good plan!
Zhou Chenglong blurted out, "Third sister, don't you want Chuanzong! He's the root of our Zhou family. You'll have to rely on this nephew when you get old, oh dear!"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yue launched into another beating. She had honed her skills in prison and was even more shrewish than before. When she beat someone, she was fearless, and Zhou Chenglong, a grown man, could only run away.
"You wanted to sell me to pay off my debts back then, and now your son wants to sell my daughter to pay off my debts too, is that it?"
"Let me tell you, no matter how much I dislike Zhou Mu, she is still my daughter, and it's none of your business how she behaves."
“Zhou Chenglong, if you dare to use your petty schemes against your mother and Zhou Mu again, I will take your whole family of three away.”
Zhou Yue vandalized Liu Ying's house again before leaving, and even took off the gold necklace from Liu Ying's neck.
"This was bought with Zhou Mu's money, right? It should be given to me, its mother, as a token of respect. What are you, this aunt from the Eighth Route Army, anyway?"
As soon as Zhou Yue left, Liu Ying hugged Zhou Chuanzhong and cried miserably. "Oh dear, what kind of life do I have? The man I married died young, and the one I married is a good-for-nothing. He doesn't have a proper job, and he has to rely on me for food and shelter. He lets a woman ride on his head... Chuanzhong, why are my son and I so unlucky!"
After Zhou Mu left, Yan Songyu took her to her newly rented apartment near Ocean University. It was a small single room, but it was small yet fully equipped, and Zhou Mu had made it very cozy.
"Mom, I'll stay here with Mumu. You can go and do your work," Feifei said.
"Okay, I'll have Grandma Liu bring you food in a bit."
"No need, I can do it. I've recently learned several dishes from Grandma Liu."
Feifei has recently become very interested in cooking, and she even made a dish for Yan Songyu and Yan Binghua.
"Then it's up to you. If you don't want to cook, you can go out to eat, and I'll reimburse you."
"Thank you, Mom!"
"Thank you, Aunt Yan. I'm sorry to have interrupted your work," Zhou Mu said apologetically.
"It's alright, you should rest and recover. I'm not in a rush to get back to work."
As soon as Yan Songyu left, Zhou Mu looked at Feifei apologetically, "I'm sorry, Feifei, I've ruined your travel plans."
Feifei waved her little hand and said, "So what? We can go to Huayou Lake anytime we want. If we miss it this year, we can go next year."
Zhou Mu nodded, her mood turning somber. "I always thought that we were living peacefully, keeping to ourselves, but... if I hadn't been recommended for university admission, if I had to give up the exam because of stomach pain, I would have been truly desperate."
Feifei let Zhou Mu lean against her and comforted her, "Don't think about her, Mu Mu. Our Mu Mu is so good, so sensible, so outstanding. Her schemes will never succeed."
"Feifei, tell me, why does she hate me so much? What kind of person is my father, whom I've never met? If she hates him and hates me, why did she give birth to me in the first place?"
Feifei hugged Zhou Mu with heartache, "Not every parent loves their child. My relationship with my dad isn't good either. I always feel awkward when I'm being insincere with him."
She changed the subject and became more optimistic, "It's just a matter of missing that little bit of fate; our lives can still be wonderful."
As Feifei said, their university life was also wonderful.
Feifei and Zhou Mu are both finance majors and were assigned to the same dormitory, but neither of them planned to live there permanently. On the first day of school, they simply said goodbye to their other two roommates, had a meal together, and then parted ways.
Yan Songyu bought Feifei a small villa in the villa area next to Ocean University. It was renovated a year in advance. Zhou Mu's rented house was also in the high-rise area next door. The two were still inseparable, just like in high school. They were the two famous beauties of Ocean University's Finance Department.
After military training ended, Feifei and Zhou Mu bought a lot of ingredients, eager to cook a big meal, but on the way they were attacked by a big black dog.
Feifei was so shocked that she backed away. Before either of them could react, the big black dog had already torn the bag containing the shrimp to shreds, and the shrimp scattered all over the ground were still jumping around.
"Iron Pillar!"
A clear, gentle male voice came from afar. The big black dog heard his voice, turned around, wagged its tail, and continued playing with the shrimp jumping all over the ground.
Feifei and Zhou Mu exchanged glances, preparing to wait for the parents of the troublemaking child to arrive.
"My God, Tiezhu, what have you done!"
A clean-cut boy in a white T-shirt and gray sweatpants ran over, stared in disbelief at the mess on the ground, and quickly and laboriously pulled the big dog that was playing happily to the side, tied it up with a rope, and then hurriedly apologized.
"I'm sorry, the dog that caused the accident is mine. Um... how much is this bag of shrimp? I'll pay for it, or you can tell me where it is and I'll go buy you a new bag." The boy's attitude was very good; he was polite and sincere.
